The wandering Cleric Chih returns home to the Singing Hills Abbey for the first
time in almost three years, to be met with both joy and sorrow. Their mentor,
Cleric Thien, has died, and rests among the archivists and storytellers of the
storied abbey. But not everyone is prepared to leave them to their rest.
Because Cleric Thien was once the patriarch of Coh clan of Northern Bell
Pass - and now their granddaughters have arrived on the backs of royal
mammoths, demanding their grandfathera's body for burial. Chih must
somehow balance honoring their mentora's chosen life while keeping the
sisters from the north from storming the gates and destroying the history the
clerics have worked so hard to preserve.
But as Chih and their neixin Almost Brilliant navigate the looming crisis,
Myriad Virtues, Cleric Thiena's own beloved hoopoe companion, grieves her
loss (...)
